Root Is it safe, is it sacred? Does towelroot trip Knox in Sony M4 Aqua?

Just got my hands on the new Sony Xperia Aqua M4. Aside from the internal storage problem, which is a bit of an irritation, am thoroughly enjoying this phone, big improvement on my old Samsung Galaxy S4.

However, want to further open up the device by rooting. As I am a noob to the uninhibited world of a rooted device, I am a little nervous as to how to go about it, and specifically as to whether or not Knox will be tripped, thereby voiding my warranty.

In some very superficial research, turned up this:

Whilst it says that it refers to the Samsung galaxy S5, elsewhere on the site this is described as a method suitable for any android advice.

Any advice/tips/thoughts in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
